"I love the lamp, it looks so great in my apt. It feels solid and looks expensive. I love that you can maneuver the head to face up, down, or angled."

The elegant curvature of the metal lampstand allows the light to drape over your furniture, providing direct, downward illumination on every surface. Because of its functional design and postmodern elegance to your apartment area, it is the ideal lamp for your dorm room. It also includes a 60-inch power cord, allowing you to place the lamp close enough to an outlet. This curving floor light utilizes one E26 bulb and is controlled by a floor rocker switch.

This floor lamp uses the utilitarian look and feel of structural steel for a new, modern touch to your dorm room. It is composed of steel and features a circular base with a long, thin arm. A circular bracket at the top of the arm holds a glass globe shade with an extended profile. The shade disperses the light from the 100W bulb evenly over the space. It suggests using a filament bulb to enhance your dorm room’s industrial vibe.

"This is perfect for what I needed. Works great with WiFi enables bulbs to showcase all their colors. Gives a cool streetlight vibe. The tall design makes a statement but with an understated simplicity."

This Hyde floor lamp’s tripod base combines the industrial appeal of a professional photographer’s light with sculptural lines. The lamp’s simple geometry and an on-trend blend of brushed brass and dark bronze make it ideal for your dorm room. Its open triangle of narrow lines brightens a gloomy area while providing a vertical counterweight to a sofa, which we adore. When covered with a clean white linen drum shade, the lamp provides a comfortable ambient glow or a more focused pool of light for reading.

"I looked for months before choosing this lamp for my living room. It is very sophisticated and sturdy, and it looks beautiful. I love the shade and the design. It’s clean and contemporary. My only complaint is that the cord hangs down in the center...."

".... Assembling was very easy. Everything fit into place. The lamp is very sturdy and stands tall. The shelves came in very handy. I could put photo frames on it. The white color matched perfectly with my door.."

Place the Brightech Montage Modern floor lamp in a corner to overhang your sofa, or in a more prominent area to highlight the magnificent marble base (extremely sturdy and anti-tip). Alexa, Google Home Assistant, and Apple HomeKit-enabled smart outlets can turn on and off the contemporary corner floor lamp. After you’ve installed the Montage Modern tall lamp and connected the socket to your smart home device, all you have to do now is leave it on and let technology do the rest, allowing for easy on and off.

"Love this lamp! Super easy to put together yet surdy once it’s up. Lampshade gets snapped into clips inside the circular frame and is holding up beautifully. Comes with an LED bulb, which is great..."

This floor lamp with a table is a big success since it can be used for numerous purposes. It’s adjustable and lightweight, and it’s a show-stopper thanks to its brass hue and marble base. Metal, marble, and storage for under $100? Yes, please! This adjustable light is a terrific addition to any living area, adding warmth and invite to any space, especially in your dorm room. Its lightweight, slender design makes it easy to transfer from one room to another, and its brushed brass finish produces a wonderful impact on your interiors.

"If you are seeking a nice elegant and contemporary lamp/side table look no further. This product is great any way you look at it, from a standpoint of value, design, and sturdiness nothing comes close. At first i was afraid of the height of the table but its perfect. T.."

This 63″ high floor lamp has an uncommon modern style that can light up your dorm room. It has a spherical base and tubular body constructed of steel with a robust finish that complements a variety of color schemes and aesthetics. A white plastic globe shade completes the design, which can hold a maximum 60W incandescent bulb, 13W fluorescent light, or 9W LED bulb (not included). This lamp is easily turned on and off thanks to a convenient foot switch.

"She’s a cute lil thang!! Perfect for reading by, and lights up a room quite nicely. I used an LED lightbulb so it’s quite bright. The dome is plastic, so no worries on breaking that. Assembly was easy-peasy lemon squeezy."

The shade of the Cyndi Floor Lamp can be replaced with this one-of-a-kind rattan frame. A U-shaped stand with slanted feet holds the single lightbulb in place. An interior cylinder constructed of woven straw that resembles a basket surrounds the bulb. A second intersecting cylinder wrapped around the internal shade creates a tiered appearance. This contemporary floor lamp will give your dorm room the extra flair you’ve been looking for with the exposed Edison light bulb that is recommended.

"This lamp is perfect. I love the glow and the shadows it casts on the wall in my living space. It was easy to assemble and completes my room. I would buy another and recommend to anyone."
